After his performance on Saturday night against Floyd Mayweather Jr., many are not expecting Conor McGregor to compete in boxing again. UFC president Dana White is advising against it, while Floyd Mayweather Sr. believes the UFC lightweight champion will “get killed” if he steps inside the boxing ring again in the future.
Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, however, believes otherwise. From his perspective, “The Notorious” was able to prove that boxing could also be a combat sport to achieve some success in.
“I was actually very surprised with his ability to do certain things,” Ellerbe during the post-fight press conference (via MMA Fighting).
